I can see you're slipping away from me
  And you're so afraid I'll plead with you to stay
  But I'm gonna be strong and let you go your way
  Our love is gone, there's no sense in holding on
  'cause your pity now would be too much to bear
  So I'm gonna be strong and pretend I don't care
  I'm gonna be strong and stand as tall as I can
  Yes, I'm gonna be strong and let you run along and take it like a man
  When you say it's the end I'll just hand you a line
  I'll smile and say Don't you worry, I'm fine
  And you'll never know, darling, after you kiss me goodbye
  How I'll break down and cry eye-eye-eye.
